Just to reiterate the original premise for the rotation [1]: <quote> - it provides an opportunity to anyone in the PMC to try this hat on and get more involved in the inner-workings of the ASF and see how the board operates - it guarantees that once you're a chair you aren't stuck holding the bag forever and can pass it on if your time allocation changes - such a policy makes the PMC very transparent </quote>
It ain't about supervision, as Chair doesn't have any magical powers over the PMC. It is mostly about helping the board to provide a better view into the project and be the representative of the board in the PMC. Most of the time it is boring, but once in a while it might require quite a bit of an ability to negotiate with people and be tasteful, if a situation gets sensitive for whatever reason. Being a Chair doesn't mean he or she will lead the technical side of the project: this responsibility comes as a consequence of one's merit, rather than an official title of a sort.
